Show moreVertical composition depicting the haloed rider holding a long spear, his horse rearing up, two attendants holding swords behind, on a green ground, outer red border. Maharajah Man Singh was the last independent Maharaja of Marwar Kingdom and Jodhpur State (r.1803-1843). Dev Nath, Man Singh's guru and adviser, was murdered in 1815. As his spiritual confidant, Dev Nath was also elevated to temporal power, as were later gurus, awarding them land grants and fiefdoms over which they exerted their own power independently. Title and date devised by Library staff. The text on the reverse in Devanagari reads: Sayabnathji maharaj, which probably refers to Bhimnath, the younger brother of Dev Nath.
